<p>I haven't seen it mentioned on Slashdot or LWN yet... and I even emailed LWN informing them... but Red Hat released <a href="http://www.redhat.com/virtualization/rhev/server/" target="_rhevfs">Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers</a> and the accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor products today. There are a slew of <a href="http://www.redhat.com/about/news/prarchive/2009/red-hat-enterprise-virtualization.html" target="_rhpr">press releases</a> and <a href="http://www.redhat.com/virtualization/rhev/server/features-benefits/" target="_featurevideos">demo videos</a>. They even had a <a href="http://www-waa-akam.thomson-webcast.net/us/dispatching/?event_id=770cd2217a5d63c162e5cf4aefdcf07d&amp;portal_id=af9b227bf07c733390c2738ee0330646" target="_rhwebcast">webcast</a> press conference. Oh, and hey, they also released all of the <a href="http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/" target="_rhevmanuals">manuals</a> too.</p>
<p><b>Didn't we see this coming?</b></p>
<p>Those who have been paying attention were expecting these releases... but I must admit that once I learned the details, I was shocked. Why? Because the Management side of the product requires Microsoft Windows products. What products? Windows Server 2003 is needed to run the management server. What services is the Windows Server running? IIS, Microsoft SQL Server, and it'll need to be connected to a Microsoft Active Directory Server for authentication and management.</p>
<p>Then of course once you have the proper Windows environment established you can actually install the RHELfS management app provided by Red Hat. Oh, if you don't have your own Microsoft SQL Server setup already, they can install the Express edition for you.</p>
<p>The Management server software includes a local management client app you can run on the management server but it also has a web-based version of the management app for remote management. Yeah, at last open standards! Not so fast. What browsers are supported by the web-based management app? Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and up. Other browsers (according to the docs) are "untested". What? They haven't even tested them? What, you aren't curious if Firefox works? To clarify it appears as if the web-based management app sends Active-X based content to the web client... and that .Net technology is also used.</p>
<p>Ok, after reading those last few paragraphs, I'm guessing you are shocked too.</p>
